Enhanced Differentiation of Human Neural Stem Cells into Neurons on Graphene

Abstract

Graphene-substrate-promoted human neural stem cell adhesion and its differentiation into neurons is reported. Microarray studies were performed to explore plausible explanation for this effect. Further, an electrical stimulation on differentiated cells via graphene electrodes is demonstrated. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
